Rumple's POV

"Thats it," Regina stuck her head between Emma and I.
Emma braked hard, giving us all whiplash.
"Sorry..." She sighed, sorry for a moment, but then she looked past me to the car.
Why is it just parked here? Right at the edge of Storybrooke....
"Well uh...as much fun as this is...what do we do now?" Regina sighed, breaking the silence.
"My speciality..." Emma said, reaching down beside her.
She span back around and in her hand was a massive flask with 3 plastic cups, and a bag filled with donuts.
"A stake out," she smiled, tossing me a cup.
"Why do you have all of this?" Regina said, sipping the hot coffee Emma had just poured for her.
"I had a feeling," Emma said, blowing her own coffee.
"Used your super power did you?" She smirked slightly.
"Something like that," Emma replied.

***
3 hours we've been sat here.... Another 3 hours without Belle, even though it feels like a life time.
Just as I was about to loose hope, I saw two figures in the rear-view mirror.
I sat up sharpish.
"Emma," I nudged her.
I think she had just been about to fall asleep.
"Mhh..yeh..uh-huh?" She said yawning.
Her eyes went up to the mirror, and she sat up suddenly awake and alert.
"Are you sure they won't be able to see the car?" I said quickly.
We don't need to mess this up. If they see us, it could all be over. I might never find Belle...
Emma shook her head,
"No chance..."

"That's the only thing he asked for and you forgot!" I heard the taller one say as they got closer.
"It wasn't my fault, you're here to!" The other one whined.
"Aw shut up!" The other one said, annoyed.
"He wont be angry...right?" The fat one said, as the other unlocked the car.
"Well if he is, he won't take it out on us, he will take it out on her!" The thinner one laughed, sliding into the car.

I could feel my blood start to boil. Anger flooded through me. They have no idea who they are dealing with. Laughing at the thought of someone hurting Belle.
The anger controlling me, I went to pull open the car door.
But Emma was quick.
Suddenly her arms were stopping me from getting out.
"Gold! What are you doing!!" She whispered, trying her best to pull me back.
"No, no-one hurts Belle and gets away with it!" I reply, lunging toward the car door.
"Think about Belle! This could ruin the whole thing! If they see us our cover will be blown and they'll know we're into them and if they know that...well...you might never see Belle ever again!" Emma said, breathless.
It was harsh, but it was the truth.
Hitting the dashboard, I sink back into my seat, Emma letting go of my arm.

The other engine started up and started to pull out,
Emma did the same when they were still in view, but out of earshot, and the bug crawled through the overgrown trees, hidden from sight.

Deeper and deeper into the forest.
Am I about to find her? My Belle?
From behind the trees, a large grey building came into view.
How did I not know this was here?
"Regina? What's this?" I say, startling her slightly.
"This, this is were Mo French grows all his flowers....all his equipment is kept here..." She said looking around.

He lied to us?! If this is were he worked, then he must be in on it. How could he do this, to his own daughter - again!
I am really not the monster here.

"Why would Mo get a bunch of goons to kidnap his daughter?" Emma said, trying to figure it out.
"He's already done something like this before, when he tried to send Belle over the town line..." I said, seething at the memory.
"Maybe he wants another go," Regina frowned, watching the two men get out of the small car.
Maybe, but again - he will not succeed.

The two men, approached the door of what can only be described as a warehouse, and knocked exactly 7 times on the metal door.
"They're not alone..." Emma whispered, almost to herself.
After a couple of frustratingly long seconds, the door was opened.
The two men had a shifty look around the area, to see if they had been followed and then stepped in.
Idiots.

"We have to get in," I say turning toward the door again.
"No, we have to wait," Emma said, thinking things through.
"Why?! We all know Belles in there! Why prolong it anymore?!" I said, almost shouting.
"Shut up Gold! Do you want them to find us?! Emma does have a point, we need a plan," Regina sighed.

I shook my head, running a hand through my hair,
This is ridiculous! Belles going to be scared out of her mind, alone, in pain, without me - and they want to leave?!
I can't. I can't just go, knowing she's here. Knowing I'm leaving her behind when I should be saving her.

"Call David," Emma said, quietly reversing her way out.
"Tell him and anyone who will help, to meet us at Granny's ASAP," she said, increasing her speed.

It just about broke my heart, but I let her drive away, reaching into my pocket I pulled my phone out and dialled David's number.
Before I knew it, we were at Granny's.
